A great line from The Hunt for Red October.

Somehow I don’t sense that the men in charge of our country now have nearly the cahones that Fred T’s, and J. Earl Jones’ characters, et al had in that movie..........or in that era, for that matter.

I can’t believe that Baghdad Bob ever thought he even resembled a tough guy! LOL.

Apparently Ahmadinejad has a secret weapon to deflect an incoming attack... flying carpets. ;-)

Well... I think Dubya has the stones.

With regard to who replaces him, we’ll just have to see. Fred would have the stones as would (gimme a break, people) Rudy.

But we won’t know what happens until it happens. Then we’ll know.

Iran is large and well entrenched.

They have effective enough weaponry to cause damage to attackers.

They have some small nukes that ‘might’ work, they have on missiles ready to go.

They were finishing off some newer, more reliable bombs, and then “pooof”, the whole place disappeared.

Syria will join Iran, if it happens soon. Otherwise, Syria will back down.

Question really is, who else will join Iran in their stand?

The longer it goes on, the longer the rope Iran’s leader chooses to hang himself with. He’s the one that made all these predictions and declarations.

The Iranian people must help. Sharing knowledge is one way.

We have the ability to wreak more havoc on Iran than the apocalypse.

We have the ability.
Do we have the will?
Because we got everyone’s permission on the current battle, and yet it seems it’s being tied up in the courts.

That’s not a smart way to do business.

And it will not work will if we have to force Iran to ‘cooperate’.

That was a good one! Hadn’t seen it for quite some time. Did you see the one where everybody was singing “Kumbaya”? That was another really good one. I have no idea where to find it now.

Is my memory correct - that Baghdad Bob reported that the “Americans had been defeated in the desert, and at this instant our brave Iraqi soldiers are roasting the stomachs of the dead Americans for their meals”...

Also - I would hope that the scenario in Afghanistan and Iraq have taught us that the “culture” existing in Islamic states is such that GROUND TROOPS should NOT be sent in until AFTER the enemy has been throughly defeated by Air Attacks and is sueing for UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER...

NO MORE CEASE FIRES..
NO MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR CHEAP KILLS ON AMERICANS..
The cost of Jihad MUST go UP, WAY UP.....for THEM.

Agreed. The price has to be high enough that even the Jihadist don’t want to pay it.

I liked this story from Aug 2005 An Iraqi sheik claims Allah sent giant spiders to the town of Fallujah to help its residents fend off attacks by U.S. military forces. Sheik Mahdi Saleh Al-Sumide'i spoke to Syrian TV on Monday, claiming several Arab television stations videotaped the helpful arachnids. The interview is featured on the website of the Middle East Media Research Institute TV Monitor Project, or MEMRI TV. The organization translated the conversation into English. "They [the Americans] attacked Fallujah and tried to cause great damage to its residents," he explained. "They destroyed mosques and homes, killed women, children and youths, and spread corruption in Fallujah. Nevertheless, we believe that Allah protects the believers, and indeed, Allah stood beside Fallujah, and I'd like to mention some miracles Allah performed in Fallujah. It is possible that the media does not know about them." Continued Al-Sumide'i: "The first miracle that occurred in Fallujah took the form of spiders that appeared in the city – each spider larger than this chair, or about the size of this chair. The American soldiers left, holding the legs of this spider, and I too, in one of the Friday sermons, held up a spider, with all its magnitude, in front of the satellite channels and in front of the world. This spider also had thin black hair. If this hair touches the human body, within a short period of time the body becomes black or blue, and then there is an explosion in the blood cells in the human body - and the person dies." The sheik's interviewer then asked about the alleged TV coverage: "The people saw it, but the TV stations did not air it?" Responded Al-Sumide'i: "The people saw it and the TV stations indeed aired it. I held the spider, and there were between 13 to 15 TV stations, including Al-Arabiya, Al-Jazeera, Al-Majd, Dubai, Abu-Dhabi and other stations, and they saw it with their own eyes."

It's hard to tell which is a worse threat to our security: Ahmanutjob or those moronic, traitorous dems in Congress.

It IS a toss-up, isn't it?

The price has to be high enough that even the Jihadist don’t want to pay it.

Unfortunately for all freedom loving people everywhere, there IS no price too high for the fanatical Islamic death cultists. Going out in a blaze of glory with whoever happens to be within their blast radius is a wonderful thing. Even a threat against their families doesn't matter, because their families are part of the cult, so they'll be heading on up to paradise, too. It's hard to fight against that, but we can give it the old American try!

When we deal with Iran, there will be no boots on the ground. We will bomb the entire Iranian energy industry, putting them all on foot and in the dark. They want things like they were in the 7th century, we should assist them.

Hell, that’s less of a bull shit story than is recorded in the Koran or preached in most of the Mosques throughout the world..

Any “religion” that achieves obedience and suicide on the promise of receiving 72 virgins - is a scam to begin with...

The cost of Jihad has to be raised...
I am more than ready to accept the consequences of busting their freaking asses all the way back to the period of the origin of their murderous cult....

It has to be either or..
Either you quit this Jihad or you become extinct.

Negotiating with them is the biggest waste of time and very dangerous for OUR health...
